Are you girls happy with this ?

Do we start this weekend ?
Is the Quinny bet ok with all or either make it a $5 bet or have a place bet instead ?
Do we include Melb Cup & Oaks day for a big 3 meeting finish to the comp ?

Any feedback will be appreciated, no whining after she starts.

So if everyone's sweet we can kick off on Saturday.

count me and scoob (emerg) in if you have room, my thoughts would be to have a place bet to eliminate bayman from any chance.....(someone fluking a big quinella) but Im easy.... what do you other guys think?
As a prize would we all put in a carton or $30...... any thoughts..... Would be a GREAT PRIZE WINNING 20 CARTONS OR 10 cartons and $150 ect.... just a thought.

Room for all grubby, can do with the place bet, just give it till Friday morn in case any one else has a difference of opinion.
I'm quite happy to go with it.
Prizes are whatever, I'm happy to chuck in a toon, the prestiges the ducks guts.

This is yours to look after Sheik, but what I'm suggesting is 2 categories-
Best return for investments per $ outlaid (allowing dunces like me to jag a decent quinella & win)
Best strike rate (rewarding the pro who consistently selects winners)

I'm in (as you will've noticed, I made this a "Sticky"), I'll get the jist of it once the ball gets rolling.

2 words- "internet cafe"....

I would vote to not have any quinella bets - the chance of the winner coming from the one person who flukes a quinella at big odds is quite high.

and Ill be on the gold coast...the laptops coming with me thought!!!!

Happy to be apart!
Cheers

OK, I'll enter the official thread & rules tomorrow morning, any other suggestions ?

We'll go with
2 group wins
1 Group Place &
1 Own Win Bet.

So if you want to scrap this thread & make tomorrows a sticky Punk, that'd be good.

What, no quinella betting?

Quinella bets - get rid of it out of this assingment.
I am also a bit disadvantaged in that the early races in Australia meetings are in the middle of the night, over here in the UK. If a scratching occurs I may be unable to re-post a new selection.
